Fault code P0660

[adam sv6]

Have had the check engine light on for a short while now and finally got around to checking it... Used 'torque' android app to scan for faults (works veeery well actually :thumbsup and got this bad boy come up:

P0660 Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control Circuit/Open Bank 1

The description it gives on the code is all jargon to me but i cant seem to find anything else from a google search on how to fix the 'problem.'

here is what the description detailed if your interested...

DTC Application note for Intake Manifold Tuning Valves and Intake Manifold Runner controls: Active controls are used to modify or control airflow within the engine air intake system. These controls may be used to enhance or modify in-cylinder airflow motion (charge motion), modify the airflow dynamics (manifold tuning) within the intake manifold or both. Devices that control charge motion are commonly called Intake Manifold Runner Control, Swirl Control Valve, and Charge Motion Control Valve. The ISO/SAE recommended term for any device that controls charge motion is Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC). Devices that control manifold dynamics or manifold tuning are commonly called Intake Manifold Tuning Valve, Long/Short Runner Control and Intake Manifold Communication Control. The SAE recommended term for any device that controls manifold tuning is Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve.

Do I take the top off that the throttle body is attached to or do I need to pull engine out to get to it

Is it possible to get step by step instructions to remove and replace

Well, you don't need to pull the engine out, but the workshop manual is quite difficult to follow for a number of reasons. Suggest you wait until other members comment on your thread and get the benefit of their practical experience. VE workshop manual is available via the attached link. Note that the size is 630Mb and none of the internal links are active. I wouldn't recommend you download to your phone.
